Summary
And, oh.
Langa’s falling in love with Reki. Reki, his snowboarding instructing partner, his partner who speaks his home language and picks him up for work every morning and wears his clothes, his partner who laughs louder than anyone Langa’s ever met, who gives the best hugs, who always says Langa’s name like he can’t keep a smile out of his voice. Langa’s falling in love with Reki, and he swallows again, because everything makes sense now. The sweaty hands, the urge to run his fingers through Reki’s snow-damp hair, the warm feeling spreading through his heart whenever Reki wears his scarf, and Langa can feel his heart stumbling in his chest because oh, he’s — he’s in trouble.
(langa and reki meet as snowboarding co-instructors and tumble into love over clothes sharing, cuddling, and — after a little pining — accidentally getting caught in the snow <3)

Summary
He was man enough to admit he had a crush. Of course he did—Langa was absolutely, miserably, catastrophically head-over-heels for his best friend, and it was hell. He should have been content with being Reki’s friend, but then friends didn’t think about how soft their friend's lips might be, or what sounds they’d make if they kissed.
Shit. Langa groaned and buried his face in his pillow.
He couldn’t tell Reki. God, he didn’t even know if Reki liked men. To be fair, Reki didn’t know Langa liked men, either. Langa’s Mum had told him Japan was more conservative than Canada, which was why he hadn’t come out to anybody yet. If he did, would Reki come out to him, too? His chest tightened.
This was the crux of the issue. How could he tell if Reki swung his way?
Reki is Langa's happiness. He knows this, and he's fine with it. Really. Until, of course, he's not fine, and he finds himself Googling 'how to tell if someone is gay'.

Summary
Reki was so, so beautiful. His shoulders were broad and muscular, with freckles dancing down his spine. He seemed so smooth, so soft, and Langa drifted away thinking of trailing his hands across those freckles, touching his skin that always radiated warmth. He would memorize each and every curve of his spine, every muscle, every-
“Okay! You ready to hop in?” Reki said as he stood back up.

Summary
“Oh, no, I’m definitely mad at you.” Reki nudged Langa’s shoulder. “I don’t care about you not telling me you’re gay, but I sure as hell do care that you didn’t tell me about this guy! You mean to tell me you’re in love with some dude, got in a fight with him, didn’t talk for a while, were suffering like crazy, and didn’t think to let me know? I could have been there for you, Langa!”
At this, Langa began to laugh. He gazed at Reki, his eyes glowing amber in the room’s dim lighting. “Reki, are you serious?”

Summary
Reki hadn’t let distance stand in the way of his and Langa’s friendship... or so he thought. When he finally visits Langa, things feel off. Reki had always thought there were no secrets between them but Langa hadn’t even told Reki he liked someone, much less that he’d been rejected! Even Miya is acting coldly towards him!
Reki is forced to wonder if Langa had ever found their relationship as special as he did.

Summary
Kaoru knew his friendship with Kojiro was unusual to most people. They don't really act like how most friends would, but none of that ever really mattered. It worked for them and he was content for everything to stay the same.
Then it suddenly wasn't and everything he knew about their relationship was turned on its head.
And he feels stupid for not noticing it all sooner.(Or Kaoru is bad with feelings, makes an effort and learns about taking his time because love is hard. And it's even harder when you have to juggle loving your childhood best friend and dealing with the constant haunting presence of his ex-friend.)

Summary
Reki never seems to sleep for more than two hours at a time and Langa’s juggling the simultaneous annoyance and affection he feels when his best friend spams his instagram DMs at three in the morning.
Meanwhile, Miya is simply fed up.
~
“Langa?”
This time a breath of frustration does leave his mouth.
“What?”
“I’m still cold.” Reki pauses. “And the floor is hard.”
Langa is so tired he would do anything to get Reki to be quiet. So he says, in English, “For the love of God,” and then, in Japanese, “Reki, come sleep up here.”

Summary
"Are you truly that desperate for someone to call you Daddy?"
It's meant to be mocking, if the cut-throat smile is anything to go by, but Kojiro feels every cell in his body immobilise, stopping him unnaturally still. Something shifts, tangible and suffocating; a moment with its own erratic heartbeat. And unexpectedly, Kojiro finds himself a competitor in a high-stakes staring contest.
Kaoru blinks first.
Cherry teases Joe after Miya calls him "Daddy". It has unintended consequences.

Summary
“Kyan Reki, please, renounce your delinquent ways and be my boyfriend!”
Reki stares at the top of her head for a long moment, his ears ringing ever so slightly. Her hair is so long that it nearly touches the pavement while she’s bent over like that. He takes so long to answer that Tanaka stands up straight again. Her cheeks are flushed bright red.
“What delinquent ways?” Reki finally asks.
Or: Someone likes Reki. If only there was one tiny thing different about him. Surprising no one except Reki, Langa is possessive and/or jealous over it. Now with added love letters, confessions, bisexual crises, and dubious skateboarding knowledge.

Summary
"Her signature is at the bottom, bubbly and loopy, with a little heart doodled next to it.
Langa realizes, with a start, that he doesn’t remember what her face looks like. He’d been so caught up in the idea of love, of having someone, that he hadn’t taken the actual person into account.
It gets easier. The names and faces blur together when he learns them, and it doesn’t hurt as much when they cry. He never entirely stops feeling bad about it, though. He knows it takes courage to try to tell him their feelings in the first place, and Langa doesn’t like hurting people.
He decides that romance isn’t something for him. Love is something that happens to other people. There’s no one in his life that he can’t imagine losing. There’s no one that he can’t live without.
Meeting Reki feels like a revelation.”

In which Langa has never been in love, and then suddenly, there’s Reki.
